[O iii]-converted luminosity function of [Ne v]-selected Type 2 AGN at z = 0.65−1.01 in zCOSMOS (light blue triangles; this work) compared with the [O iii] luminosity function of zCOSMOS Type 2 AGN in a similar redshift range selected through the “blue” line diagnostic diagram (black circles; B10). Open symbols highlight those datapoints affected by significant incompleteness (see text and B10). Small numbers indicate how many objects were used to derive each datapoint.
